Hanagan working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Tauer doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Hanagan is tightening it up a little... Tauer has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Tauer reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Tauer taps out! Nice BJJ there by Hanagan!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Charley Hanagan!
After winning the bout, Charley Hanagan thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
